One of the nearby Wildlife refuges has a huge birding weekend. This past weekend they were catching and tagging red throatily hummingbirds which are TINY. It was really fun to go see and see all the other things they have there.
There ARE in fact a couple tiny hummingbirds in this picture:
This is just down the street - within walking distance - of our house. It is beautiful! Just walking around the ponds and on some of their pathways.
Jeremy & Maeby watching as they tag, weigh, measure and log each of the hummingbirds they catch:
There were several little booths - one of them had 2 baby alligators that they allowed people to pet. It was terrifying to be so close even though they were just babies. Alligators are all over down here.
Maeby's favorite was the lady who had the turtles. She was allowed to hold them, touch both adults and babies.
We're really excited to go to more of these events. For more pictures of the xtravaganza & pictures that show are area a little more click here.
